Today is voting day in Malaysia. The campaigns are over. The badmouthings are over. The ads in the net are supposed to be over already for gods sake. Now, everything rests in the hands of Malaysian adults to decide who'll lead the country for the next 4 years.
What does it mean to vote?
I'm still not eligible to vote but if I could vote today, I will vote. Voting is like a symbol that shows you know what is best for your country. It shows your patriotism, responsibility and full support for your country. When I asked some of my friends, they said they don't give a fuck about politics. That shows that they are yet to mature in thinking and decision-making. Well, really can't blame them since we're still teenagers. I prefer not to get involved as well but I'd love to vote when I'm adult enough. Plus, I love to try something new. What does it mean to be an adult anyway?
BN or PKR?
I never followed or heard any of their actual manifesto for the elections. All I've seen in news or the net are both of them loved badmouthing each others. Well, it's natural for the competitors to taunt their oppositions before the match but this is beyond taunting. What I hate the most is when they started involving racism and religions. If PKR wins, then Christianity will be the official religion of the country? Sistem Beraja will be abolished? Malay people will be less cared? Malaysia becomes a free country? Why would people stoop so low just to get votes? I'd say ignore these things and just damn vote whom you think is the best to lead the country. These things will only help to ignite fireworks between the radicals of both race and religion. I'm not moved by a single bit when I heard that. If you asked me, whom will I vote for, I would only say: I WANT CHANGE. It's nice to experience a change once in a while and by change, it doesn't mean that I'd vote for PKR. If both parties are serious enough in this without the badmouthings and whatnot, it doesn't really matter who wins. Najib can change as well as Anwar. If Anwar becomes PM, I think I can see a Malaysia where the community is more open-minded in everything without prejudice. If Najib continues as PM, there'll be change but it's more or less the same old peaceful Malaysia. Well, a change is better than none, no? As long as I vote. That matters.
Now you've read this, I urge you to go out there and vote you lazy Malaysian!
and you call yourself a Malaysian... PFFFFTTT!!!
